Make sure it is a DDR version though.....
Good 3d performance + buch of multimedia features, can't really beat it for $56.00

I think the $56 one is only SDR...which means it'll be as fast as a Geforce 2 MX

Well even using SDR SDRAM it should beat out the GF2 MX400, as even the older SDR Radeon managed to compete well against the GF2 MX. The R7500 with it's higher core/mem clock and incrementally better memory controller shopuld certainly pull ahead.

I've no idea about $56 but I was just checking out PriceWatch and there are a number of $58 third party OEM DDR Radeon 7500's clocked at 270/230.... that's not a bad price at all for someone who's on a budget and wants DVI + TV-Out, and HydraVision along with respectable performance.
It's a nicely well rounded card, for $56 it's pretty versatile in it's capabilities.

I wasnt aware the R7500 had dropped quite that far in price.
